I still have a little of the Clarins Toner left and decided to do the half face test with Pixi on the right side and Clarins on the left. I will do this until the Clarins runs out (unless the difference is very noticable and I begin to look rather odd):rotfl:
I will report back in due course.:DThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

GA Fearne Gift set, so 4 items.2 more birthdays next week, so a Sanctuary and a Champneys gift set earmarked. Win, win - I destash and they get nice presents. Never tried the Fearne stuff and probably never will now but have used Sanctuary before and think I still have some in the stash. Not tried Champneys but do have other Champneys in the stash to try.
3 stone down, 3 more to go0 -
Another use up this evening, the Lush Bath Bomb from my Project Pan. I think it may have been Butterball. It was an absolutely ancient stash relic which turned out to be rather disappointing in that it didn't really smell and it left a greasy film all over the bath and my skin. It probably didn't help that it was so old, but I wouldn't buy it again.
OH also helped me dye my hair yesterday, so I used up a Nice 'n Easy Deep Mahogany from the stash. I'm currently loving the colour, although it's supposed to wash out after 24 washes.Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician....0 -
Morning ladies,
Some more PP UUs:
Lush candy cane soap - lovely! I have another chunk at the bathroom sink just now. I didn't see it in Lush this Christmas
TBS vineyard peach body scrub 200ml - I really like this, I prefer the TBS creamy scrubs. I've opened up a pink candle wild cherry one now. I can't quite yet bring myself to open a matching shower gel though
One other UU that's been lurking in the bathroom:
Schwartzkopf lychee shampoo - lovely.
14/20 PP items gone!0 -

I use the Nice & Easy semis and I find them nigh-on permanent. That said, my hair is black so maybe the lighter colours fade more.
I too got a S&G voucher through from Boots and I put it straight in the binFeeling very bleuch and down today (suffer quite badly with the winter blues) and this is often when I end up buying some makeup or smellies to cheer me up -- will try hard to resist the temptation after work.

Finally, FINALLY, the hand cream of doom has been finished: Neal's Yard Bee Lovely. Got this as a freebie with a magazine last year and no matter how little I used, it left my hands so greasy! Would most definitely not buy again. Now using a sample tin of Lush Helping Hands, which I love, but still have 3 more hand creams in the stash!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170

I have a couple of uu
Pai ?? & Jojoba Hydrating Day Cream 5ml - can't remember the other ingredient, was nice enough.
Elemis Pro radiance cream cleanser - 30ml - I was surprised to finish this, I wonder if I've been using too much as it ran out quickly - I liked it though which is just as well as I have more of them.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

SmarterNotHarder - don't know about coconut oil, but you can use milk, coconut or normal cows milk as a cleanser... don't ask why I know that.... Oh I googled - http://voices.yahoo.com/beautiful-skin-using-coconut-milk-coconut-oil-3680222.html?cat=69
yes you can! Let us know how you get on!
Pixtotts sounds like you got a bargain there with those polishes. I only heard of them recently as some beauty bloggers were raving about them and I looked them up online and are about about £18 each!!!! :eek:
It's crazy isn't it! Not only the price but that people pay that much for a nail varnish. I've yet to find an expensive one much better than a normal priced one, oh except a glittery opi, but then that wasn't ideal dies in the bottle in 12months. Can't go wrong for £2 though
Also I took inspiration from Pickles sig and have changed mine! As I too, have too many books to read and DVDs to watch!
This is going to sound awful, I rarely read peoples sigs... I dunno I just kind of brush over them, yet I still recognise a sig more often than a name!
I am rubbish with names away from the interweb aswell though...
But what I was going to say is this is a brilliant idea!! as the owner of definitely 700 probably pushing 800 books by now I'm going to nick this idea! So thankyou Pickles, and Sally
xI hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
even when it feels like your not....0 -
I have a UU! :j Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation sample in 100 Ivory - so far WBA as it's the right colour for me (rare for a magazine sample, they're always too orange!) and it feels nice on my skin.
My Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation is spluttering too (which is why I used the Rimmel sample this morning) so hopefully I'll have that to add to my OUTs list soon.Everyone's doing so well! I haven't had any UUs this week yet, but haven't bought anything either (since I sinned at the boots sale last week) so that's a positive step for me. And I resisted the nails inc tsv too! This thread is definitely helping me.
I have had a few moments where I've filled my basket in Boots, looked at it and thought, "Actually, I don't need these yet, I can put them back" because I didn't want to come on here and have to declare the INs! The thread is a brilliant motivator for asking yourself 'Do I actually need to buy that right now?' and making you think about your purchases."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0 -
I finished an Avoplex to go last week and noticed that the nozzle part was removeable, so managed to prize it off and have filled the container with Creative Cuticle Eraser which I have in a salon size bottle, for those that have not come across it before, it is an AHA cream to be used once/twice a day and is very gentle and does not flare my excema.
Haven't ordered the Nails Inc yet, will try and stay strong:(
Nails painted OPI Excuse Moi deep pink glitter.
Good tip there. Sadly I didn't notice this but cut the tube open anyway.
Did you still stay strong?
Excuse Moi is one of Emma's favourite colours and we recently bought her a replacement bottle at Christmas from fragrancedirect.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
